PREMIER 



THE ONLY REAL FROSTPROOF BERRY! 



Others are frost resistant — Premier is frostproof! Premier plants were 

 first offered for sale in 1915, two years before the United States entered the first 

 World War. From then to now — for 26 consecutive years neither frosts nor 

 freezes, neither insects nor diseases, have prevented Premier from producing a 

 bumper crop of berries every season. 



Premier has so many good qualities in additon to being a never- failing cropper, that it broke 

 all records in gaining popularity in all the northeastern states where it is best adapted, as well as in 

 higher altitudes as far south as North Carolina and Tennessee. 



For years we have sold more than twice as many Premier plants as any other variety. 

 You may not believe in following the crowd in most things but there is ample reason to do 



so when it comes to Planting Premier. 



LiJce the farmer who works from ''sun to sun" Premier starts ripening early and 

 bears through a long season, It is tremendously productive, The berries run medium to 

 large in size. It takes a lot of water to size up all the berries that Premier plants produce 

 so in dry seasons without irrigation the last berries are apt to run fairly small. One of 

 the reasons why Premier is such a sure fire producer is because the plants set so many 

 perfectly formed berries. Even ii fiost, cold, or insects get half of them there are plenty 

 left for a big crop. 



The plant growth of Premier is very healthy and vigorous. The leaves are nearly 



always completely free of leaf spot and other foliage diseases. Occasionally growers 

 report trouble in getting a well filled fruiting bed from Premier. However, our stock of 

 this variety is unusually vigorous. It has not failed to give us a good growth even under 

 some unfavorable conditions. This year we have for your orders several acres of plants 

 fully as good as the ones pictured above. 



Premier berries are firm enough for shipping moderate distances. Experience has shown thai 

 Premier holds up pretty good after a fairly long trip by truck but that it will not hold up long after 

 being taken from a refrigerator caur.
